Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Field Observations Upon the Tolerance of the Sugar Beet for Alkali<br/><br/>While acting as agricultural expert for a company interested in the beet industry in Colorado, the attention of the writer was frequently drawn to the effect of the soluble-salt constituents of the soil (alkali) upon the-sugar beet. On account of the fact that the general condi tions which obtained in the irrigated regions are especially favorable to the production of high-grade beets, and smee III such regions there are usually to be found many acres of land upon which these sol uble salts appear in greater or less concentration and frequently have killed the normal vegetation, and especially because of much apparent contradiction in the action of these lands toward the sugar  beet crop, the writer became interested in attempting to determine the limits of tolerance of the sugar beet toward alkali, and it is as a contribution to this work that this bulletin is prepared, reviewing certain work which was conducted by the writer in 1900 at Grand Junction, Colorado, and extended during the summer of 1904 at Oxnard, California.
